You were outraged when you claimed 70% of the deaths were AA. But you can’t seem to wrap your head around the percentage of the New Orleans population.

Over 70% of deaths statewide are African American, not just in New Orleans

The percentage of African American deaths in New Orleans is even higher

It is a fact, and a noteworthy one, black people are dying at a disproportionate rate to coronavirus here in Louisiana. Not a single person would argue otherwise

And I asked you why? Different care? Unsatisfactory care? Systemic care? What’s the reason?

So are you inferring from this that there is some underlying racial issue here??

It'd be interesting to compare with New York - now with the same nCFR as Louisiana. Or the rest of the world for that matter, seems like each area will have it's own crutch. downfall.

I think people are asking you to clarify the subtext of your statement.

Are you trying to say that black people aren't smart enough to social distance?

Are you trying to say that black people aren't getting adequate treatment because they are black?

Are you saying something else?

Or, are you just saying it's noteworthy but aren't sure why that is?
